Harry Palmer Files — 007 — BBC Radio Adaptation (2004) pt. II

The Harry Palmer Files

Through July, or at least until I run out of things about which to talk, we’ll be looking at the Harry Palmer series of novels (in which the character doesn’t actually have a name), their author — Len Deighton, the films based on them, the star of those films — Michael Caine, and the television movies that followed. I will be re-reading the whole series of novels, re-watching the films, and giving my thoughts on all I encounter. I’ll inevitably be drawing heavily on the collection of Kees Stam, author of The Harry Palmer Movie Site, and Rob Mallows, creator of the Deighton Dossier, and other odds and ends that I’ve turned up over the years.

This is the second part of the BBC adaptation of the IPCRESS File from 2004, dramatized by Mike Walker, and starring Ian Hart as “The Agent.” For more details, see yesterday’s post. I’ll be taking this file down in 1.5 weeks, so listen now!
